Ingredients (serves 12):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your butter is cold before you start mixing the dough. This will help ensure that your biscuits are light and flaky.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture. This will help create a crumbly texture that is perfect for biscuits.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into rounds. This will help ensure that they rise evenly in the oven.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
3. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and milk.
5. Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
7. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness and use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
8. In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9. Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each biscuit round.
10. Fold the edges of the biscuit up and over the cream cheese mixture, pinching the edges together to seal.
11. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
12. Serve warm and enjoy!
